One of the morphs I'm focusing on is the diffused morph; in which babies hatch out looking somewhat normal, but as they grow their pattern starts fading and they get very bright red. It takes selective breeding to get the best colors and pattern diffusion, otherwise you will find ones looking not much different then normal corns. Bloodreds is what they are normally called, the first ones of this morph were a solid dark blood red color. These babies though were chronic bad feeders, so to fix that they had to be outcrossed and bred with other corns, in turn loosing that deep red color (however there are a few lines that still have it). The bloodreds these days look just as good but they have a lot more orange and yellow in them.





And of course its being bred into other morphs, but they too need some selective breeding to get the best colors out.


Diffused + amel are called fires -




Diffused + anery are called granites -
